Hi Chris,

	What is the entry that you added in yum.conf? This is what I have in mine.

    proxy=http://10.50.10.55:6588

	HTTP_PROXY variable has never worked for me.

You mention that your proxy is an ISA Server. Is it authenticated? 
Getting yum to work with an authenticated proxy is a pain. I personally 
have never been able to get it to work with an authenticated MS ISA server.
